nothing could be given out that might
injure its usefulness. :

and he heard him telling the people to
write his name on the ticket in No November.

ning running as an independent candidate as
far back as that time."
In a speech at Tavares last Mon Monday,
day, Monday, State Senator Igou of Lake
county, well known and much es esteemed
teemed esteemed in Marion, asked the following
pertinent question:
"Will Mr. Catts explain to the peo people
ple people of Florida what he, did with the
money he collected in my town and
other places to aid him in his effort to
have his name put on the ticket in the
primary ? Now, Mr. Catts didn't have
to mandamus the committee to get his
name there, yet be collected that mon money
ey money for that purpose. What did he do
with the money? If I should say to
Mr. Duncan here, give me ten dollars
to buy some groceries for a widow,
and if I used it for some other pur purpose;
pose; purpose; wouldn't you say I stole it? Mr.
Catts came to my town and said the
committee was not going to put his
name on he ticket, and that he want wanted
ed wanted to take up a collection to man mandamus
damus mandamus the committee to have his
name put on the ticket. The people
all over Florida gave him money for
this purpose, but he didn't mandamus
any committee."
, In answer to a letter from Geo. P.
Raney, chairman of the State Demo Democratic
cratic Democratic Executive Committee, Senator
Fletcher says:
"Dear Mr. Raney: I have had no
part in the recent democratic primary
in Florida, or in the contests which
followed it. It is my firm conviction,
however, that it is' the duty of demo democrats

party as determined by the supreme
court of Florida; the final action of

court and the state committee are the
final and only tribunals to determine
disputes to the results of j primary
electionsand their conclusions are
binding upon the party. The life of
the democratic party depends 1 upon
the ready, acceptance by every demo democratic

Editor Star: At the conclusion of

my last number I left you at the grave
Darden's war-horse, and am going to
say now what I had in mind then', but
the article had reached its length and
I held back until now. I have always
had a profound respect and admira
tion for any one who has a heart big
and tender enough to be touched by
the loss of a dumb but faithful ani animal.
mal. animal. It was only a rough board it is
true, and Darden's carving was crude,
but by these he expressed more gen
uine heartfelt sorrow and a deeper
feeling of regret than is often felt by
those erecting elaborate and costly
stone and marble shafts in memory
of ', departed relatives and the lines
Darden laboriously cut came nearer
recording the true virtues and char characteristics

of the epitaphs carved into numbers
of these same marble gravestones.
said, too, that I saw this a few 4ays
after the fight at Walthall Junction
and of that fight I wish to state a few
facts which may not be learned from
the current histories, for nearly or
quite all of these that I have exam
ined are more or less partisan. Ha
good s brigade, of wmch our regi regiment,
ment, regiment, the '25th or Eutaw was a part,
was on its way to Richmond to join
Gen. R. E. Lee's army facing General
Grant. The first section composed of
part of the 21st S. C. V. and one bat battalion
talion battalion of our regiment had just reach reached
ed reached Petersburg when we were hurried hurriedly
ly hurriedly ordered to Walthall Junction, which
was about six or seven miles from
Petersburg on the road to Richmond,
and our train hauled out without de delay
lay delay and rushed to Walthall. Col. R.
F Graham of the 21st regiment, be being
ing being ranking officer present, was in
command. When we reached the
junction the federal forces were in
sight and not more than half a mile
away. As soon as the train stopped
we hustled out of the freight box boxcars
cars boxcars that we were packed in (none of
your nice Pullman cars that the sol soldier
dier soldier boys of today travel in) on the
opposite side from the eneny, and
the train backed away towards Peters Petersburg.
burg. Petersburg. We quickly formed in line,
marched across the railroad towards
the enemy about thirty yards and
made our stand in an old sunken
road-bed which made a pretty good
trench as trenches went in those
days. In the meantime the enemy
was advancing and spirited firing was
going on. This force had been sent
out by Gen. B. F. Butler (known as
"Beast" Butler) to capture and cut
the railroad between Petersburg and
Richmond to prevent reinforcements
from reaching Gen. Lee. Butler's
base was at Bermuda Hundred where
he had 30,000 men of all arms. The
fight at Walthall was short, sharp
and spirited, but the' enemy, was re repulsed
pulsed repulsed with considerable; loss, and
ours very small. The Edisto Rifles
had only one casualty, S. P. Hall be being
ing being quite severely wounded. The
federal forces were commanded by a
Gen. Hickman, and in the report
made of the -fight by Gen. Smith,
Hickman's corps commander, he said
that the "attempt ; on the railroad
failed, because the enemy resisted
with unexpected strength. The place
could have been carried probably, but
only with a loss which Gen. Hickman
did not think proper to suffer for
this object and risking the probable
annihilation of his command. It is
proposed now to renew the attempt
with a force that "will Overcome all
opposition. Gen. Hickman reports
troops brought by rail from both di directions
rections directions during the fight.' Col Dutton
and Captain Webb, who were both
present, report troops as most ably
handled, and behaving with greatest
gallantry. Gen. Hickman and both
these officers are confident that the
opposing .forces consisted of veterans,
and were little, if any, inferior in
numbers, their position being one of
great strength, though not fortified."
Now, the above is the report of the
corps commander and is now on file
in the archives at Washington, and it
is from such records that historians

pretend to write history. Now the
truth of the matter is that the Con Confederate
federate Confederate forces numbered i about 500
men part of the 21st and one battal battalion

stated while Gen. Hickman had one
bVigade and a, battery of field artil artillery
lery artillery in action, and another brigade of
infantry at hand for. 1 support, his
forces numbering at .least 4 to 1 of
ours. We had no artillery and no re reinforcements
inforcements reinforcements of any kind came to us
from any direction, either by rail or
otherwise, during the fight. Both
Confederates and Federals however,
were reinforced during the night. On
our side Gen. Hagood arrived with
the balance of his brigade and Gen.
Bushrod Johnson with his and the
fight was-renewed next morning with
much vigor and persistence on both
sides, the enemy at one time getting
possession of the railroad which they
held tenaciously for several hours, but
were finally driven from their posi position
tion position by the 25th regiment under Col.
John G. Pressley, the other battalion
having come in to us when General
Hagood arrived. Near the end of the
battle when the. enemy was making
his last stand, Col Pressley was se severely
verely severely wounded, having his right arm
shattered near the shoulder joint. He
and Russell Zimmerman and my
brother Willie had crossed the rail railroad
road railroad a little in advance of the line of
battle and had taken position on a
small hill, and standing in line al almost
most almost touching elbows brother Willie
in the center and had hardly taken
their position when Zimmerman was
instantly killed by a Minie ball
striking him in the right eye and he
had just fallen when CoL Pressley
was wounded as above stated, and as
he was falling brother Willie caught
him in his arms and eased him down.
By this time the line of battle had
passed on following the beaten and
retreating enemy and at Col. Press Press-ley's
ley's Press-ley's request brother Willie obtained
an ambulance and took him into
Petersburg to the hospital. In a
later number I shall have more to say
about this able, gallant officer and
splendid and distinguished gentleman.
In this second day's battle the Edistos
lost two fine young men and brave
soldiers Sergeant J. E. East and Pri Private
vate Private Lewis Jenkins were killed, and
J. M. O. Holman and E. E. Inabinet
were wounded. During the night after
the second day's fight the Confed Confederate

fell back about three miles and took
position on the south side of Swift

threw up works about two hundred

seemed to me my heart
Just danced a jig for joy and gates o'
heaven swung apart,
For her baby eyes were sparkling and
her cheeks were dimpled so
That I caught her and I kissed her as
a proud dad will, you know.
When she first said "daddy" Lord
I almost whooped in glee
For I heard the angels singing and
the world looked good to me
And her mamma smiled her pleasure
as she looked at me so glad glad-Just,
Just, glad-Just, a big old awkward man, but oh

tne light heart that I had.

When she first said, "daddy," oh, our

As though she'd pointed me the way

As when she called me "daddy," and I

creek by the 11th regiment of S. C. V.
and a battalion of the 25th (including
Edisto Rifles of course) under, the
command of Col. F. II. Gantt of the
eleventh. It was not long after cross-

ir strong force, when a short but se-
vere engagement followed in which
CapL Hammond and two of his lieu-
tenants Seabrook and Hammond
were killed, leaving his company with

shot and seeing him fall ran to him
and was bending over him when he
was shot down and fell across his
brother. The night after the little
fight I have just mentioned, for some
unknown reason to us, Gen. Butler
fell back with his entire army, x his
base at Bermuda Hundred which left
the way open for us to take the steps
which placed us in position to fight, a
few days later, the battle of Drewry's
Bluff, of which I will write in my next
number, and close this number by
stating an incident or two in connec-
tion with the Swift Creek fights. You
win recall that in one of my early
numbers I spoke of the Lucas bat
talion of so-called regulars, on Cole's
Island, and mentioned a sereeant be
longing to that battalion who instruct
ed us in artillery drill on Goat Island.

our boys. ; Well he got a furlough and
